my own two cents:
i think the right one to do is the one that better trains you to respond in the way that you endorse. everything is practice for everything else.
not sure which one that is though
this means fully understanding what makes these prosocial moves succeed, and what makes it hard for people to execute on them!
i have my own pile of successes and failures, but alas i am only one person, and would love to hear about a wide variety of experiences
i'm writing a big reference doc about how to invite people to hang out, throw parties, introduce yourself to others, check in on friends, navigate ghosting, and generally perform prosocial moves without being really really weird about it
joking aside, my suspicion is that fewer and fewer people are reading these texts (though i couldn't find data on this). IMO it's necessary and good to present them in whatever form excites the public imagination, & then you can work from there towards more accurate translations
if you look at this chart you'll see that every year the odyssey becomes less popular. it's important to keep it in the contemporary vulgate, otherwise people will think it's useless
